Beautiful Creatures

chapter 1 - Maddie

"Hello?" I hear my prey say into the darkness.
We're in a forest. Just me and her. Alone! It was perfect and I was hungry.
She asked again "HELLO?!" This time more urgent.
Slowly I crept up behind her.
"Look behind you!" I called slowly.
As she spun around I quickly took my chance and bit her on the neck. She let out a small cry before falling limp.

I had my feast and turned to leave when something stopped me. Out of the corner of my eye I saw something moving in between the trees. I started to hurry. Nothing can kill me but I can be wounded and it hurts ten times more than when I was human. As I neared the edge of the forest I heard a voice behind me.
"Stop" It said. "I know what you are!"
" What then? " I ask.
"Vampire." He exclaims.
"Who are you?" I ask, turning around as I say it.
Clearly the surprise shows on my face because he starts laughing.
As his face comes into view I start to notice some of his features, like his baby blue eyes and short, curly, dark Brown hair. I had never seen anyone so gorgeous. He smirks and I can feel my heart race.
"Information is on a need-to-know basis, and you don't need to know that." He says. I can tell that he is enjoying this.
"Goodbye then!" I quickly say and turn to leave. As I take a step to go I cast a quick spell and he has to follow me. I look over my shoulder to find that his smile has left his anoyingly handsome face.
"Let go of me!" He shouts at me. I keep walking and he continues to follow.
"I mean it!" He screams at me. " I can hurt you so bad that you won't be able to move! "
"Shut up" I say quickly and he does. Now I was the one enjoying this.
"Your coming home with me unless you wish to tell me who the hell you are!" He doesn't speak. " Oh right, I forgot! You may speak. "
"All you need to know is that I'm a werewolf and you're a vampire and we're sworn enemies." He spits at me.
"Why does it have to be that way tho?" I ask out loud. He looks taken aback by my comment . "I mean humans hate us both and we both hunt, if you think about it, we actually have a lot in common." I say simply.
He thinks for a while before answering but when he does I'm even more surprised than he was only 2 minutes ago. "You're right! I never thought of it that way before."
"Did a Werewolf just say that I'm right?" I say. By this point we had stopped walking and I was staring at him. "Whats your name?" I ask.
" Why? " he returned.
"I can't see you free unless I know your name!" I explain.
"Xander" he said, giving in.
"I'm Maddie. Nice to meet you Xander." I replied.
"Did it work?" He asks me.
"You tell me" I say and take a step back. He has his eyes closed and I got to say, he looks even cuter with them all scrunched up. WHAT AM I THINKING!!! I can't go out with a werewolf!
"It worked!" He exclaimed , snapping me out of my trance.
"Look, do you want to meet up again? I think we could be good friends." I blurt out before I can stop myself.
" I agree. " he says surprising me yet again tonight.
"Great! How about at daily forest cafe tomorrow? I ask, pushing my luck.
" sounds good. " he responds. "What time?"
" 12? " I say.
"Perfect." He replies .
I can't believe my luck!
